FOXBOROUGH - Randy Moss yesterday vigorously denied allegations he
committed battery against a Florida woman in her Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
residence earlier this month.
Rachelle Washington, 35, who claimed she has had an intimate
relationship with Moss since 1997, received a temporary restraining
order in the Broward County Court against the Patriots wide receiver
Monday. In her petition, Washington alleged Moss caused her serious
injury in the Jan. 6 incident and denied her medical attention.
Moss, 30, who in his first season with the Patriots set an NFL record
with 23 touchdown receptions and broke the franchise record for
receiving yards with 1,493, said he was "mad at this situation of
extortion." He claimed Washington was seeking "six figures" to keep the
alleged battery hushed.
